After 7pm
The lead that sat is the lost deal.
Most stores do not have a writing problem. They have a lead that waited until morning. A draft is ready the moment your rep or the owner opens it, on a phone or at the desk.
Lead replies for car dealers
LotBeacon drafts the reply from the facts the rep pastes about the vehicle they asked on, checks it against the house rules, and flags a price or payment ask for a manager. Each fact shows its source. A person presses Send.
Every Facebook Marketplace and website lead answered fast, including the ones that land after 7pm. LotBeacon works next to the CRM you already pay for: your rep pastes the lead, starts from a draft built on the vehicle and price in front of them, and presses Send. AI drafts. You press Send.
Shaped by dealers. See the research
Open a thread, read the intent, edit the draft. It waits for your Human Send. Book Saturday, then send & next.
Every open thread on one board. The activity log is kept in the browser, with no message text. Sent means the rep marked it sent. Rule packs on this board are the demo.
Soft ROI, modeled. Invent a discount in a draft or starve the lot feed. It's flagged for a manager.
Prairie Line Motors is a fictional store. Sample customers. Send never leaves this device. You pick the paint. You do not pick the rules.
The real problem
The deal you lost last month probably did not die on a bad reply. It died on no reply for a day. LotBeacon puts a draft in front of your rep fast, so the after-hours and gone-quiet leads get answered by a person, sooner.
After 7pm
Most stores do not have a writing problem. They have a lead that waited until morning. A draft is ready the moment your rep or the owner opens it, on a phone or at the desk.
Your CRM
No rip and replace and no new system of record. Paste the lead in, copy the draft back into Messenger or your CRM. A thread that went quiet gets a follow-up draft the same way.
Your prices
The vehicle, listing price and facts your rep pastes, each with its source. A made-up price, payment or discount is held for a manager.
Your rep
Nothing goes to a customer on its own. The rep edits, sends and owns the relationship. LotBeacon makes them faster. It does not replace them.
How it works
A sentiment tool calls an upset buyer “cold.” LotBeacon sees someone ready to buy today with a price objection, and flags it for a manager before the lead walks.
In the click demo, an action queue sorts threads by buying intent, not by who messaged last. On the live desk, the queue is rolling out.
The reply is drafted from the facts the rep pastes. Each fact shows its source.
A made-up discount, payment, hold, sold unit or off-hours promise is flagged for a manager.
Your rep reviews, edits and sends. Price and payment asks are flagged for a manager.
More than a reply writer
Any chat tool can write a nice message. LotBeacon checks each draft against the facts the rep pastes and the house rules, and flags a price, discount or payment ask for a manager. On the desk, an activity log of drafted, flagged, copied and marked-sent is kept in the browser. The aim is a booked visit. A person presses Send.
For the owner
Each draft is checked against the facts the rep pastes and the house hold rules. A made-up price, discount, payment or promise is held, with the reason shown. Price, discount and payment asks are flagged for a manager.
For the rep
Start from a draft built on the facts you pasted. Each fact shows its source. The draft points at a visit, with two real times to come in. A wrong price, discount or payment is held before it goes out.
The record
On the LotBeacon desk, an activity log of drafted, flagged, copied and marked-sent, kept in the browser. Sent means the rep marked it sent. Message text stays out of it. A fuller audit trail is rolling out.
The data
Before a draft goes to the AI, the desk masks phone numbers, emails, Social Security numbers, labeled dates of birth, labeled account, loan and policy numbers, and street addresses.
AI drafts. You press Send.
You can, and it'll write a decent reply. What it won't do is check that reply against the facts the rep pastes, show where each fact came from, use the same house rules on the draft, or flag a price, discount or payment ask for a manager. On the LotBeacon desk, an activity log of drafted, flagged, copied and marked-sent is kept in the browser. Sent means the rep marked it sent. Message text stays out of it.

Action queue
Click demo, sample threads.
Threads sort by buying intent. A price or payment ask is flagged for a manager, and a “probably spring” stays in nurture.
Intent, not sentiment
“Honestly the price is too high. $2,500 off and I'm there today.” The draft never names a number. It flags the ask for a manager and holds a 4:30 visit.
Who it's for
Each license tier is built for a different kind of operation, from the rep who wants to hit bigger numbers to the franchise store answering to the brand.
Solo
An open license. Buy it yourself, no dealer sign-off needed. Experiment, answer faster and stop leaving same-day buyers on read.
Three Amigos
For a pod of reps, or the independent lot that runs without a big admin team. A shared queue and clean handoffs are rolling out.
Dealership
House hold rules check each draft today. Brand guideline packs and the store standards you load in are rolling out.
Owners, admin, finance, quality and sales management each get a view they can verify.

LotBeacon checks drafts against the guidelines and store standards the dealer loads in. Examples of guidelines a dealer might load: a Ford, Chevrolet or Mercedes-Benz store's brand guidelines, or your own lot's rules. LotBeacon isn't approved or certified by any automaker, and it doesn't guarantee compliance.
